Welcome, nnbob.

subject: A cat and her kittens
verb: should be fed
object: a high quality commercial cat food.

high modifies quality
high quality modifies commercial
high quality commercial modifies cat food
cat modifies food

The determiner is part of a set phrase, notably, [a type/kind of] cat food.
